Rare photo of Space Shuttle Sonic Boom

I thought this was quite amazing.

The photo shows the Space Shuttle passing through the Sound Barrier and the Snoic Boom that is formed. You can see that the back of the Shuttle that hasn't passed through the Sound Barrier is blurred, whilst the front is in focus.

sweet find lenny

Yeah, that's pretty phat. I'm confused though, where's Guile?

Bad. Assssssss.

Thats pretty cool.

Ha, first thing I thought of was Guile. That reminds me, I should dig up my SNES and play Street Fighter II: Turbo.


Lenny, where did you find that?

After i saw it too, i brought out the old street fighter movie. Jean Claude Van Damme as Guile, awesome.

Dammit! Upon seeing the picture I went through all this trouble of putting Guile behind it on MS paint..... but then I realized I wasn't the only creative one

Looks pretty cool.

The picture of the fighter jet going supersonic is better though :P

I've not seen that one...though I remember seeing a video of some jet blasting through the sound barrier. Knocked everyone who was watching it down.

Lenny, where did you find that?

It's one of the News items on Torrentspy.


EDIT: Is this the picture of the Fighter Jet?

I wonder if that is loud.

Loud enough to shake all the moisture out of the air...

Can't it break glass?

Yea, I was in the Chesapeake Bay when a jet broke the sound barrier too low and blew out all the windows in all the boats near it.

Super loud

You can find a vvideo of the boom somewhere ont he web

I think that's the video to go with the F-18 pic I posted. No sound though...

I can't find the one I've seen. And it was such a good one too...
